The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station power plant has been under scrutiny following radioactive pipe leaks that led to the plant being shut down last year — but back in happier times, they produced their very own “Star Trek”-themed safety video, “SONGS Trek.”

The video features the classic “Star Trek” cast, though it uses some costumes from the new rebooted movie era of “Trek.” Oh, and sorry continuity buffs — their Uhura is a white blonde woman.

The plant’s former chief nuclear officer plays Capt. James T. Kirk, according to U-T San Diego. Safety tips imparted by faux Kirk include him talking about safety hazards and the need for the team to communicate.

Southern California Edison planned to use the video at an employee recognition event, but it was never finished, according to the Associated Press.
